Most wonderful time of the year ...

Christmas is always a busy but special time of the year for us.  This year was no exception.  Holiday parties, gatherings and mommy working at REI consumed the entire month of December. Yet Christmas is still my favorite time of the year ... the MOST wonderful time of the year!!  I love shopping, get-togethers with friends and family, sharing gifts with others, creating memories and celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.  

On the top of Makenna's wish list was an American Girl Doll ... Santa spoiled Makenna with an Americian Girl doll, horse, dog and lots of accesories.  Plus a few extra surprises.  Makenna was THRILLED to see what Santa had left for her.

Justin had a long list this year. Santa had a hard time deciding what to get him this year so he brought him a few items of of his list ... Mp3 player and Big Lego set but left him a few surprises that Santa was sure he would like. Justin was pleased with what Santa left ... the lazer tag set was a huge hit.

Having Grammie spend Christmas day with us this year was an extra special treat for our family.  It has been YEARS since I have had the chance to share Christmas with Grammie and a first for Justin and Makenna.  Makenna was super excited to help Grammie open her presents.
